Would help to know what year of car, some MAF's are very robust some are fragile.

MY99 and MY2000 are prone to failure of the MAF, don't forget to re-set the ecu after you fit it, i would say it would be that on that model.
You can use the connectors under the dash or just leave the battery off for a while, this will reset the ECU.
